While connected wearable devices have only been around for a relatively short period of time, it is amazing how much their mainstream adoption has grown and is predicted to grow further in the next decade. Mobile device designers and developers have quickly moved beyond glasses and watches and have started to view wearables as solutions to real life problems.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others, so some of these are based on news reports and not official company tallies. All stats are linked to their source unless it was sent to me directly from the company. In other words: This is the best I can find, but I don’t guarantee anything.
